“And when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.” Mathew 13:6

IN JESUS TODAY:

In the world of gardening a root is what anchors a plant to the ground, this root absorbs the water and all of the nutrients from the ground that the plant will need to grow. Every plant draws its strength from its roots. And we are also plants in the world of life, so then the question becomes, do you have roots, yes, of course, but are your roots in Jesus?

Another example of a root comes from the mathematical world, it is actually a number that multiplies itself by its same character, and yields many more of that same number. So then the same question applies, do you have your roots in Jesus? For example a person who calls themselves Christian will have their roots in Christ Jesus and will then multiply in character and in numbers that will yield other like-minded Christians that will also have their roots in Jesus and grow, and spread.

HAVING OUR ROOTS IN JESUS…

In Jesus we live and move and have our being, and living, moving, and having our being is supported by having our roots in Him, as we read,

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being, as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are his offspring. Acts 17:28

Jesus is everything. And if we abide in him, taking root in him we can ask anything of him, as we read,

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7
